Technical details

The Ninja Forms - File Uploads plugin for WordPress (versions up to 3.3.29) contains a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) within its debug logging functionality. The issue resides in the `DebugLog.php` component, where the plugin fails to verify user permissions before executing actions on the `wp_nf3_log` database table. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this to read all debug log entries or permanently delete the entire log table. The attack is carried out via network requests to the affected routes without requiring any prior authentication or user interaction.
